FORMER Premier League star David Wheater admits he spends all his money on WRESTLING figures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And he\u2019s even ready to build a room for them in his new house\u2026 despite his wife\u2019s disapproval.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wheater, 36, starred in the top flight for Middlesbrough and Bolton.<\/p>\n

He also dipped into League Two with Oldham for several seasons.<\/p>\n

And he retired from the beautiful game in September after a spell with National League North side Darlington.<\/p>\n

But Wheater, an 11-time England U21 star, has another passion to keep him occupied.<\/p>\n

The ex-defender has revealed he has a huge love for wrestling.<\/p>\n

Starting in his childhood, Wheater became addicted to watching WWE stars like Hulk Hogan.<\/p>\n

And the candle still burns bright as Wheater continues to buy wrestling figurines to keep in his house.<\/p>\n

But Wheater has vowed to build a separate room for his toys when work on a new gaff is complete.<\/p>\n

Wheater, who earned one senior England call-up in 2008 but was never capped, told the Under The Cosh podcast: "We never had Sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad worked offshore and had Sky and he brought WrestleMania 10 back from '94 and I was hooked ever since.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBret Hart and that. I think [Ultimate Warrior] had left by then, but I'd get tapes of Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan. I just started buying tapes, loved it, still love it now.<\/p>\n

"We're just renting a little place now as we're building our house and (my wife is) like, 'where are you putting these (toys)?\u2019<\/p>\n

"I said, 'I'll build a room for them'. (She said) 'You're not.'<\/p>\n

\u201c(I have a ring) but I don't like them because when you wrestle with them they slip out. The ring is slippy so I just do it on the carpet. I do all the moves.<\/p>\n

"I never got into gambling, but I spend all my money on wrestling figures. I don't know what she'd rather me do to be honest: win a bit or spend it all on wrestlers.<\/p>\n
